Line 45:
* Perhaps the creepiest example occurs in the ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' episode, ''Elegy''. Three marooned astronauts stumble upon a world where people seem frozen in time. An [[Ancient Keeper]] shows up and reveals that it's actually a giant cemetery. {{spoiler|He then takes pains to ensure that the three astronauts become its next occupants.}}
* The librarian Mr. Atoz in the ''[[Star Trek the Original Series]] episode'' "All Our Yesterdays". He offered to help the Enterprise landing party go back in time the way the rest of the planetary population had. (Note: "Atoz" was a joking reference to "A to Z", a logical name for a librarian.)
* The creators of ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' suggest that Brother Cavil resembles this trope, {{spoiler|especially during "Rapture" where he's prepared to kill D'Anna, and later box her entire line, in order to preserve the identities of the Final Five. We later discover that this is literally true in "No Exit".}}
* ''[[Merlin (TV)|Merlin]]'' has the Fisher king himself being the keeper in his castle. And asking for [[Mercy Kill]] when he has transmitted his knowledge.
